Crimes, Criminals, and the Monstrous on Social Media
This article investigates how the Norwegian police’s Online Patrols contribute to the cultural production of monstrosity through their posts on social media. Drawing on theories of monstrosity as a shifting moral and cultural category, the study examines how police communication—though framed as preventive and informative—implicitly constructs boundaries between humanity and its monstrous others. The article employs the concept of “implicit narra…
Knowledge, technologies and the police
This issue of the Nordic Journal of Science and Technology (NJSTS) is edited by the members of the research project ‘A Matter of Facts: Flows of Knowledge through Digitalized Police Practices’. The project is carried out at the Norwegian Police University College and is funded by the Research Council of Norway (grant 301762). The aim of the project is to explore digital knowledge production in policing. Digitalization plays a major role in curren…
Matter of Facts
Digitalisation and the use of technology are at the core of knowledge production in policing. This paper presents various ways in which perspectives from the diverse field of science and technology studies (STS) can provide new insights into studies of policing. In detail, we suggest ways in which STS, with its broad and open perspectives, can be employed to investigate how different practices involving human–technology interaction within policin…
Digital Legend and Belief
With Digital Legend and Belief: The Slender Man, Folklore, and the Media, Andrew Peck makes a significant contribution to the quickly evolving field of digital folklore. The book erases the development of the legend genre into the digital age, while consistently exemplifying this development with the Slender Man legend cycle, which is native to the digital age. Throughout the book, Peck makes a strong case for the claim that “digitally mediated l…
Folk’ in the Age of Algorithms
Over the past few decades, folklore scholars have demonstrated that online expressions and performance play a role in folklore studies and that folklore thrives in digital spaces. However, theorization of the specificities of digital spaces as sites for folklore is still just getting started. This article is a contribution to this theorization, focusing on one specific and popular area of connective culture: social media platforms. Combining Mikh…
Transparens og tilsløring i politiets kunnskapssystemer
Stealing from Bakhtin
This essay investigates an approach to writing about animals within the humanities. The goal is to focus attention on animals as actors, rather than speaking on their behalf. By combining Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of speech genres with Donna Haraway’s perspectives on co-habitation between all species, I suggest that a careful attention to animals as communication partners might give us a tool to capture the contribution animals make in the creatio…
Kongen av Arktis – Isbjørnen Knut som internasjonalt klimasymbol
En helt spesiell kjærlighet
The British artist Morrissey started his career in the early 1980s as the singer in the band The Smiths, and has since become a cult icon with a still growin fan base. This article looks at the icon from a fan point of view. My vantage point for studying fandom is the assumption that fandom arises when someone recognises their own views and opinions in something or someone else. Hence, each fandom must be studied on its own terms, be it sports fa…
